In article t, "Dan/W4NTI"
w4nti@get rid of this mindspring.com writes: Back in 2000, Nader got enough votes in Florida to ultimately tip that state to Bush. Similar goings-on happened in other states. Exit polling of Nader voters showed that if Ralph hadn't run, half of his voters would have gone to Gore, a quarter to Bush and the other quarter to even smaller parties or they would have stayed home. If you look at how many votes Nader got in Florida and elsewhere, it's clear that if the above percentages had gone to Gore and Bush we'd have a different team in the White House today. In effect, by splitting Gore's support, Nader put Bush in the White House. That's why the Green Party refused to support him this time around. Remember Ross Perot? He did the same thing for Bill Clinton - twice! By splitting the support for Papa Bush in 92 and Dole in 96, he allowed Clinton to be elected with less than a popular majority. But as long as our political leadership is determined by who gets the biggest PAC bribes for their re-election, it really doesn't matter which party has control. Sounds like a rationale to avoid saying Bush's support of BPL is a bad thing. The idea that a Nader vote will somehow stop BPL is misguided. I don't know whether a vote for Kerry will help in the BPL fight, but you can be sure that a vote for Nader will simply help reelect Bush. And remember this plain, simple fact: A vote for Bush is a vote for BPL. 73 de Jim, N2EY ABB eh Jim? Pathetic. ABB? What's that mean, Dan? Vote Nader 73 de Jim, N2EY |
